16. Yet an unconventional gun without normal use or range, using alternative bullets:

There are Wikipedia pages:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_bullet

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_bullet

Anyone making a plastic gun at home and willing to use it to intimidate or cause mayhem, could do so with gunpowder from firecrackers. I'm certainly not advocating anyone do this, merely showing that this new, unregulated technology, now available from Staples, makes it easier for RWNJs.

If anyone wants me to delete this, I will, but think we know what we're up against. I am sure this would not be used often, and does not change my mind about reducing the guns and rifles flooding our nation.

Half those buying the weapons currently being advertised likely wouldn't want these. And since they take profit from the gun manufacturers, they won't be pushing them, either. This takes them out of the game, too.
